Mr. Godwin Obaseki, governor  of Edo state , has revealed  that only the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) can save Nigeria and place it on the path of economic prosperity and sustainable development.

Obaseki stated this when he received members of the Atiku Support Group, led by Chief Raymond Dokpesi, on a courtesy visit to the Government House, Benin City.

The governor spoke just as his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, in Port Harcourt, accused Federal Government of setting the country 20 years backward

If Nigeria is going to be salvaged, PDP has to step into the throne to salvage this country politically. The stakes are too high; we cannot allow Nigeria to continue the way it is going.

“I don’t just see how we can continue to be deceiving ourselves. We try to prevent the country from growing by limiting and restricting imports, coming with all forms of phantom excuses to limit people from buying and importing what they cannot produce and need to live.

“On the other hand, they are restricting foreign exchange availability; they are just throwing millions of Nigerians into poverty.”

Obaseki described Atiku as a Nigerian committed to the country, saying his achievements are visible.

He noted that the country has never been so divided as a nation and that everybody now refers to it as the poverty capital of the world.

“All the indices clearly show that we are a failed state,” he added.
